But whereas a stew is typically cooked in a large amount of stock, a bredie uses hardly any stock and relies on the juices from the vegetables to form the liquid component of the dish. This recipe for lamb bredie was given to me by my mother-in-law, many years ago, and it’s remained a firm family favourite over the years.

Here's a delicious, foolproof 'Pannekoek' recipe straight from the kitchen of my late and great granny Julia. This precious heirloom must have churned out gazillions of cinnamon sugar pancakes by now. And it's still going strong!

It uses simple, cost-effective ingredients - no milk or butter needed.
